Brandeis’ Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center compiled a list of terms and phrases that they recommend being cautious of using. Julie Jette, who is representing PARC in the media, said, “The list was never an official Brandeis policy, and no member of the university community was ever required to consult with or use the list. Brandeis has a deep commitment to free speech and free expression.” Rather, the list is a compilation of words that may be harmful or offensive to others, and a way for people to be more sensitive to other people’s emotions. On PARC’s website, the group says that the list is meant to be “a tool to share information and suggestions about potentially oppressive language. Use of the suggested alternatives is not a university expectation or requirement. The language you choose to use or not use is entirely up to you.”
